[ARC5] Crystal Testers

[n2lxm at juno.com]

I have built many testers over the years. Her is a list of what I have on
the test bench now.

Simple Pulsed Crystal Signal Source,  March 1992 73 Magazine

Improved Crystal Tester,  Jan 1992 73 Magazine

The Crystal Tester, by W6BLZ ( the one I sent some members )  July 1964
CQ Magazine

Crystal Controlled Signal Source ARRL Hand Book.

Each has it's strong points. I have found that the semiconductor types,
sometimes do not have enough current to drive sluggish crystals into
oscillation. So my go to unit is the one by W6BLZ.
